Getting the source code

Now, you will have a directory named zet which contains all the latest development tree. Now you can begin editing files and making your changes. You can read the GIT tutorial to see which GIT commands may help you in the development process.

Commiting your changes

When you are done with your changes, you must be sure that they are working and fully tested. Also, that you don't break anything with your changes!!

Now it's time to commit your changes. First, review which files have been modified and which ones you may have added to the tree:

git status

For all modified and new files that you want to add, you have to do a:

Sending your contributions

When you are done and want to send your contributions, just execute this command (if you did 1 commit):

git format-patch -1

The number 1 indicates the number of commits you did. If you did 3 commits, this command becomes:

git format-patch -3

In the later case, three files will be generated in the same directory, for example: 0001-something.patch, 0002-blabla.patch etc. Simply post them in the forums in a new thread named [PATCH] and a small description. After a brief review of the code, they will be included in the main tree.
